Question 1
What is the correct direct speech of: 'She told me that she had finished the work.'?
  • She said 'I finished the work.'
  • She said 'I have finished the work.'✔️
  • She said 'I had finished the work.'
  • She said 'I will finish the work.'
Correct Answer Explanation
When converting from indirect to direct speech, the past perfect 'had finished' goes back one step to present perfect 'have finished'. So 'I have finished the work' is correct.
